Eric< what type of news will be required to burst the bubble?>. Mary Meeker of Morgan Stanely chokes on a book she ordered from Amazon.com. A nuclear bomb is dropped on Seattle. That's all I can come up with at the present.

Hi Eric, Hope that you are not hurting right now. For the short term, I am just trying to hold/create some competitive advantages for myself in "trading" Amzn in small bits. I believe that "the stock price" will be in serious trouble when the sellers start to sell! Don't worry, we are Americans!! The sellers will sell! The sellers are: 1. The IPO institutional owners, holding 10 million plus shares; a large percentage of those 10M was borrowed by shorts. 2. The controllers, who bought most of the shares from the short sellers...5 millions shares maybe?? 3. Insiders - 42 outstanding million shares strong and going via future options and announced acquisitions. 4. Last but not the least, all the boxed shorts! :)) I hope that you do not think that I am joking. :)) Jan
